Open Studio: Laurel Atwell and Jessica Cook

This winter, New York-based choreographers and performers Laurel Atwell and Jessica Cook will workshop emerging ideas and build on existing material as part of a VW Dome Artist Residency at MoMA PS1. Over the course of their six-week residency, Atwell and Cook will harness the architecture of the VW Dome to examine the art of merging their separate creative processes on neutral ground. This Open Studio marks the culmination of Atwell and Cook’s residency.

Now in its third year, the VW Dome Artist Residency offers artists space, time, and resources to generate new ideas and experiment. The open format allows artists to create new content, collaborate, workshop new gestures or concepts, and respond directly to the unique space of the VW Dome. Previous artists-in-residence include Moriah Evans, Gillian Walsh, Phoebe Berglund, Kim Brandt, and Nikima Jagudajev.
